I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It’s gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

    It might be just a little bit more shitty to be laid off and have finances jeopardized than to fire someone. I don’t know the market you’re in but I’d never stoop so low to come back to a place that laid me off earlier, I’d really have to be desperate.

        Once you said you’re going to leave, even if they counter to keep you, they’re never going to trust you. And they might cut you.

        However, I would still entertain a counter offer, as long as a kill fee was included in that. Counter higher salary, and if you choose to end the engagement within 3 to 5 years, you pay me this kill fee.

        That way they’re committing to retaining you, and not just keeping you long enough to find a replacement
